We, the Honors class of 2003, have created a website dedicated to communicating our feelings and experiences associated with Saint Xavier University's Undergraduate Honors Program in the hopes that others may benefit from these experiences and perhaps even join us. We also hope that we ourselves may appreciate the academic and social benefits of being involved in such a program. With our thirst for knowledge and the "Idea of America" as our theme, we seek the answers to many significant questions that will inevitably lead to academic enrichment and self-discovery. In pursuing the "Idea of America" we are essentially questioning our own identity, both as individuals and as a group.

As the inaugural group of Saint Xavier University honors students, we set the precedent for subsequent Honors groups. Despite this pressure, we have united and  bonded to form a family. Recognizing each participant's and faculty member's individuality, we have come together to form a concrete unit of solidarity, concerned  with "the good of the order." Students have formed unbreakable alliances with one another, as well as with Honors  faculty, supporting each other through the trials and tribulations of college life. Together, we have and shall continue to travel the bumpy road seeking the "Idea of America."

"...there is an idea of America that is itself distinct, incorporating oneness and manyness in a 'new order' that may or may not be 'for the ages' but that is for us, here and now."
